She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the Universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.” ― Ariana Dancu Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts … good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don’t hurt. […] Read more…

Well I am alive. My operation went well, but a few complications afterwards meant I overstayed my hospital visit and my surgeon now refers to me as “trouble”. But whats new eh? I’m not gonna write this blog with my normal rose tinted glasses on, because I need to be honest. It’s been a pretty […] Read more…

Who would have thought I’d be sat here waiting for surgery after just a meeting and buying a loaf in M&S…. I don’t know why these situations I end up in surprise me any more…genuinely sometimes feel like I’m in a constant audition for Bridget Jones minus the two hot men fighting over me. Damn.

I seem to be one of those people who hears the phrase “that could only happen to you Rach!” an awful lot. I genuinely don’t mean to end up in situations that make me look like a plumper cross between Calamity Jane and Bridget Jones, but it happens. It happens a lot. Last year when […] Read more…

I’m not ashamed to admit that one of my biggest faults is putting things I don’t want to deal with in an imaginary box, putting the imaginary lid on it and forgetting about it. I’ve had a great few months, holidays, good times with lovely people and most importantly no relapses. I’ve actually felt the […] Read more…

One of the most frustrating things I have found since being diagnosed with MS is that access to resources and up to date reliable research is few or far between. Don’t get me wrong, I read the articles that are published on a weekly basis which claim “The MS Cure is on its Way”, but […] Read more…

Vitamin D is definitely good for the soul (& us MS’ers) isn’t it. This time last year I was still learning to walk properly and fast forward to now, another amazing holiday with the girls and I’m dancing on a beach. So it was worth the hard work and staying as positive as I did […] Read more…
